Observation details
Singing adult male Pied-billed Grebe found on the loch by Alan Lauder. Reasonable views with the telescope albeit a little distant and hazy. Song quite clearly heard, a pulsing "bup-bup-bup-bup-bup-bup-bup...bup......bup.........bup" with throat skin patch (dulap) also noted being inflated when displaying. The bird was later recorded breeding with a Little Grebe and produced hybrid young (article written up on this in Scottish Birds).
